Sitting on a park benchThinking about a friend of mineHe was only 23Gone before he had his timeIt came without a warningDidn't want his friends to see him cryHe knew the day was dawningAnd I didn't have a chance to say goodbye

Chorus:

In this life I loved you most of allWhat for?'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myselfWhat for?

What for?Driving down the boulevardThinking about a man I knewHe was like a father to meNothing in the world that he wouldn't doTaught me to respect myselfSaid that we're all made of flesh and bloodWhy should he be treated differentlyShouldn't matter who you choose to love

(chorus)

Intermediate:

People pass by and I wonder who's nextWho determines, who knows bestIs there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this caseIgnorance is not bliss

(chorus)(intermediate)

Have you ever watched your best friend die [what for]Have you ever watched a grown man cry [what for]Some say that life isn't fair [what for]I say that people just don't care [what for]They'd rather turn the other way [what for]And wait for this thing to go away [what for]Why do we have to pretend [what for]Some day I pray it will end

I hope it's in this lifeI hope it's in this life time

In This Life (tradução)

Sitting on a park benchSentada num banco do parqueThinking about a friend of minePensando num amigo meuHe was only 23Ele só tinha 23 anosGone before he had his timeFoi-se antes de aproveitar a vidaIt came without a warningIsso veio sem avisarDidn't want his friends to see him cryEle não queria que seus amigos o vissem chorandoHe knew the day was dawningEle sabia que o dia estava raiandoAnd I didn't have a chance to say goodbyeE eu não tive a chance de dizer adeus

Chorus:

In this life I loved you most of allNesta vida eu te amei acima de tudoWhat for?Pra quê?'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myselfPois agora você se foi e eu tenho que perguntar a mim mesmaWhat for?Pra quê?

What for?Pra quê?Driving down the boulevardDirijo pela alamedaThinking about a man I knewPensando no homem que conheciHe was like a father to meEle era como um pai para mimNothing in the world that he wouldn't doNão no mundo que ele não fizesseTaught me to respect myselfEnsinou-me a me respeitarSaid that we're all made of flesh and bloodDisse que éramos todos feitos de carne e sangueWhy should he be treated differentlyPorque ele deveria ser tratado diferente?Shouldn't matter who you choose to loveNão deveria importar quem você escolhe para amar
